The Barre Players announce auditions for Richard Rogers & Oscar Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music” on Saturday, January 6, from 1 to 4 p.m. and on Sunday, January 7, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Barre Players Theater, 64 Common St., Barre.

Director Joe Godfrey and music director Julie Rawson, are looking for a cast of 30-35. Singing roles include: 12 sisters, ages 18- 70; eight Von Trapp family members, ages 6-40; two women, ages 20-30s; one young man, age 17, and 1 man, age 40 to 50s. There are 10 non-singing roles for both men and women, from ages 20 to 60.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script, a simple dance movement and a song of your own choice. Please prepare 16 bars of a song that best portrays your range/ vocal ability. An accompanist will be provided. You may also be taught and asked to sing something from the show. Be prepared to stay for the entire time if necessary. Guitar playing is a plus for the characters of Maria and the Captain.
